Theatre Happenings THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW - place enough to warrant the price of admission to newcomers and old fans alike. CAST’s production of The Rocky Horror Show (only the film version has the added “Picture”) kicks off Oct. 29, bringing the cult classic to the Anniston Meeting Center. Known for inspiring rowdy crowds during the theatrical version, the mature subject matter of the play is handled in a completely immature way, with newlyweds Brad and Janet ushered into the castle of Dr. Frank N. Furter, a mad scientist obsessed with creating the perfect, sexy being and also a bit of hedonistic murder. But what’s life without a little spontaneity? The show runs from Oct. 29-31, with showings at 7:30 each night and a second, midnight showing on Saturday night. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for students and available at castalabama.com. As an offhand (and safe) guess, the show will be best enjoyed by adult audiences. CAST The show includes songs so popular that even people who haven’t seen the show can sing along, like “Time Warp” and “Sweet Transvestite,” and an Annistonbased performance should be just out of October 2015 INSIGHT
